Look out, you'll hear me shout
You'll get your due if you don't watch out
Who? You know who
That nasty man
Look out you simple folk
He'll get you sure with you simple jokes
He'll win your confidence
Then with his tricks he'll commence
Oh that nasty man
Tryin' to fool you each time that he can
Playin' mean tricks, that's his plan
Oh! That nasty man
When he calls on you
He calls his uncle in Timbuktu
Leaves a nickel when he's through
Oh! That nasty man
When you're out walkin'
He'll make you trip and fall
And when you're talkin'
He will cut in, he likes to butt in
Oh that nasty man
He used to show off his Palm Beach tan
When it rained his colour ran
Oh! That nasty man

NASTY MAN
(Jack Yellen / Irving Caesar / Ray Henderson)
Harry Roy & his Band (vocal : Harry Roy)
I'm a nasty man, taking my love on the easy plan
Here and there and where I can, I'm a nasty man.
You're not fooling me, I've got you figured from A to Z
But I'm darned good company, oh I'm a big bad man.
I'm sweet and nasty, you know what's on my mind
I'll pull a fasty, make a stew, then I chisel
I'm a nasty man, I never met anyone who can
Be as bad or better than me, I'm a nasty man.
